The puzzles here are my own designs unless noted.  The puzzles will arrive unassembled, you will have to figure out how to assemble them.  Painting these puzzles is not recommended because it will destroy the fit, for coloring I use fabric dyes.

All puzzles here were designed using open source software!

This puzzle consists of three identical pieces which rather surprisingly interlock into an octahedron. Each piece is made from 3D printed spheres connected by cylinders, there are no notches, grooves, or latches holding it together! It is a fairly easy puzzle to put together, and by adding a thread on the top loop, it makes a nice addition to any Christmas tree. When assembled it measures 5 cm or 2 inches tip to tip. This is a joint design by myself and Rolando Pontalti.

One piece has a small loop on which to string it. String or thread for hanging not included. I recommend ordering it in the "Winter Red" or "Winter Green" color.

A tetrahedron puzzle to go with your Christmas Octahedron. This puzzle has two pieces which can be snapped together. You just need to find the correct orientation and rotation to assemble it.

The tetrahedron is about 4 cm or 1.5 inches in height. The spheres are 15 mm in diameter. I have added a loop to the puzzle, but you will have to supply a loop of thread for hanging.
